Default Vista and XP installed on different disks

I have installed Vista and XP on 2 different disks (Vista is on a SATA drive and XP is on an NVIDIA RAID 0). The XP was the first OS and Vista was installed afterwards. Since I had problems installing Vista with the RAID as the primary boot drive (BIOS setting), I had to make the other drive the primary boot drive and install Vista. This resulted in Vista not recognizing that there was another OS present so it did not create the dual boot entry on the boot loader. The only way I can boot to either OS is to change the primary boot drive from the BIOS setup. Will the procedure you describe work on such a configuration, or is there something that must be changed?

Thanks in advance!
